The Best Facial Cleansers for Mature Skin

Good skin care starts with the basics, and it doesn’t get any more basic than washing your face. There are so many options when it comes to that task—from Dove soap to pricey designer serums—that it can be impossible to choose. You know I use Rodan and Fields, and I have for years. But don’t worry—today, I’m sharing some of the best facial cleansers for mature skin. I’ll be including items in a wide range of prices.

Have sensitive skin? This gentle cleanser leaves your face feeling clean, soft, and totally hydrated without any of that tight, stripped feeling you sometimes get with other cleansers. Plus, it’s cruelty-free and made with the finest natural ingredients, like elderflower water, making it a guilt-free addition to your skincare routine.
Aveeno is a household name! This daily cleanser is formulated with soothing oats and is fragrance-free. Plus, it’s super easy to rinse off, so you can say goodbye to that pesky residue feeling! And here’s the best part—it’s made with biodegradable ingredients and packaged in a recyclable bottle, so you can feel good about caring for your skin and the planet at the same time!
Is there anyone who hasn’t used OLAY at some point? It was a staple at my grandmother’s house, and she had amazing skin. Packed with gentle exfoliators, it works wonders in lifting away dull, dry skin, leaving you with a fresh-faced glow. Plus, it’s formulated with hydrating conditioners and key anti-aging ingredients like Salicylic Acid and Glycerin, so you can cleanse and exfoliate while promoting healthy, younger-looking skin. Say goodbye to makeup, dirt, and oil – this cleanser will leave your skin feeling refreshed and oh-so-healthy.

You don’t have to spend a ton of money on skincare. This cleanser does it all—removes makeup, cleanses your skin, and keeps it hydrated all day long. Plus, it’s so easy to use—it starts as a cream and turns into a foamy lather as you apply it. And bonus—it’s fragrance-free.
I LOVE Vitamin C, so this InstaNatural cleanser is a no-brainer for me. It brightens, tones, and hydrates your skin, leaving you with a radiant complexion. In addition to Vitamin C, it also has Aloe Vera, Coconut Water, and Botanical Extracts, and it nourishes and refines your skin for a fresh and revitalized look. Plus, it’s suitable for all skin types – even sensitive skin!

Sephora has many great products. This deep cleansing foam from Shiseido is great for getting rid of oil, dirt, and makeup from your skin! This cleanser makes your skin feel super clean and smooth. Plus, it’s made with special ingredients that help clear up your pores and give you a fresh, radiant look. A tiny bit goes a long way, so it should last a while.
Kiehl’s has been around forever, and it’s easy to see why. This cleanser is like a magic powder that helps clean your skin, reduce oil, and make your pores look smaller. It’s great for normal, combination, and oily skin types. Plus, it has special ingredients like Amazonian White Clay and Alpha Hydroxy Acid that help make your skin feel smoother and softer.
I love the name of this- Resting Clean Face, lol. Despite the name, it’s all serious business with the creamy cleanser. It removes dirt, oil, and makeup while keeping your skin hydrated and refreshed. Perfect for normal, dry, or combination skin types, especially if you’re dealing with dryness, redness, or dullness. Plus, it’s vegan and cruelty-free, so you can feel good about using it.

This cleanser has been getting some serious love lately, and for good reason! Not only does it brighten your skin with Vitamin C (hello, radiant glow!), but it also exfoliates away those pesky dead cells, leaving your skin feeling super soft and smooth. And get this – it’s packed with White Tea Extract and Vitamin E for some serious antioxidant power. Plus, it’s gentle enough for sensitive skin types.

I use CeraVe every morning and night. It’s the best!
Nice to see such an assortment— I have used a few of these. I also love anything infused with Vitamin C.
Happy Anniversary to your mom and dad! I have tried everything from cleansing oil to Dove soap on my face, and it flakes and peels!
Happy Anniversary to your parents. Congratulations!! I love your Spring tops post. Amazon has so many very cute spring tops. I wash my face every night using Cetaphil cleanser. it gets off the makeup and leave my skin feeling so soft and moisturized, never leaves my face feeling tight.
Yes every night I do my cleanse/moisturize routine. I use Aveda products for my mature skin. Love them and they do a great job.
I had to go back to Cetaphil gentle cleanser. My skin right now doesn’t like much.
I wash my face every night. I can’t stand the thought of makeup on my face all night long. I wash it again in the morning too. I’ve always had oily skin, and even at 52, I can’t use most “mature skin” facial products because they’re too oily for me. Most people my age need more moisture. I am not that person. :/
Sheli, consider yourself lucky. The skin on my face is so dry that it flakes and peels most of the time, no matter what I use. 😞
Love your words…… it truly is everything between that counts!
Great post! Another one I will be saving. I love trying the different beauty products. I want to try that vitamin C cleanser. I have started using CeraVe eye cream and it by far is one of the best I’ve used. I have always used Estee Lauder till I tried this one.
Happy 65th Anniversary to your parents! What a milestone that is!
I wash my face every night, unless I’ve used no sunscreen or makeup. I love Fresh Soy Hydrating Facial Cleanser. It’s a “clean” product that leaves my dry skin not tight after washing.
I use the CeraVe cleanser and I love it. But I’ve used the Olay, in the past, and it’s great too.
I have a cleanser that I love bit definitely want to try one with vitamin C.
Great choices, also there is a Johnson and Johnson facial cleanser I have used for years around $8.
I am in the process of changing my skin care regimen and wish I had done it years ago. When I had a facial a while back, I was introduced to the Eminence line and am loving it.
Yes, I’m a Gurl who washes her face nightly! I use Purity by Philosophy.
I’ve used both the Olay and the CeraVe. You can’t go wrong with either one of those in my opinion.
I cleanse/wash my face every day, morning and night. I have oily skin prone to breakouts, so need to cleanse. Great article and gives me options to try different cleansers. Have a blessed week! Happy Anniversary to your parents!
Great choices! I love CeraVe! I pray your mom and dad have many more years together. happy anniversary to them!
Thx for so many great options
Thank you, it’s so overwhelming trying to decide which product is best for your own skin!
